| But
if thy thought Droops from such height; if thou be'st weak to set
Body and soul upon Me constantly, Despair not! give Me lower
service! I seek To reach Me, worshipping with steadfast will; And,
if thou canst not worship steadfastly, Work for Me, toil in works
pleasing to Me!
For he that labour th
right for love of
Me Shall finally attain! But, if in this Thy faint heart fails,
bring Me thy failure! find Refuge in Me! let fruits of labour go,
Renouncing hope for Me, with lowliest heart, So shalt
thou come; for, though to know is more Than diligence, yet worship
better is Than knowing, and renouncing better still.
Near to renunciation- very near- Dwelleth
Eternal Peace! Who hateth nought Of all which
lives, living himself benign, Compassionate, from arrogance exempt,
Exempt from love of self, unchangeable By good or ill; patient,
contented, firm In faith, mastering himself, true to his word,
Seeking Me, heart and soul; vowed unto Me,-
